Chapter 41 fourth quarter

When Tomohiko Sonomura returned home, the family had already finished dinner.My father, who works in electronic machinery manufacturing, is watching the live broadcast of a professional baseball game in the Japanese-style living room, and my younger sister, who is in high school, hides in her room. Recently, Tomohiko's parents have completely left his life alone.They were overjoyed that their son had been admitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering of a prestigious school, and they were also very satisfied that their son was different from ordinary college students in that he took classes seriously and did not miss any of the credits he should have taken.Assisting Kirihara in his work, Tomohiko explained to his parents that he was working in a personal computer store, and they naturally did not object.

While washing the dishes, his mother put grilled fish, stewed vegetables, and miso soup on the table for him, and Tomohiko served the rice himself.Eating the meals made by his mother, he thought, how should Tong Yuan handle dinner? They have known each other for three years, but they still know almost nothing about Kirihara's life experience and family situation.All I know is that Kirihara's father, who used to run a pawn shop, has passed away.There are no siblings, and the mother seems to be alive, but it is unclear whether she lives with him.As for friends and buddies, there seems to be none.

The same goes for Nishiguchi Namie.Although they commissioned her to handle the accounting, Tomohiko almost never heard her mention her private life.I heard that he works in a bank, but he doesn't know what kind of business he is in charge of.There are hooligans looking for her... What is going on?Namie's small, round face appeared in Tomohiko's mind. After dinner, Tomohiko was going back to his room.At this time, the voice of broadcasting the news came, and it turned out that the professional baseball broadcast was over. "Around eight o'clock this morning, a middle-aged man was bleeding from his chest and fell on the side of Showacho Road. Passers-by found the police and sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment, but he was pronounced dead immediately. The man was a bank in Nishikujo, Hana District. The employee, Mikio Mabe, was 46 years old and was stabbed in the chest by a sharp knife. Before passers-by found the deceased, some people witnessed a suspicious man with a knife near the scene. The police analyzed that the man was related to the murder case and are now looking for him Whereabouts. At the time of the murder, the deceased was preparing to go to work at the Showa branch of Dadu Bank, which was about 100 meters away from the murder scene. Then the next news was broadcast..."

Until the middle of the news, Tomohiko thought it was just a violent crime that had soared recently.But when he heard the end, he was shocked.The Showa Branch of the Metropolitan Bank is where Namie Nishiguchi works. Tomohiko came to the corridor, picked up the phone placed in the middle of the corridor, and pressed the number impatiently.But Kirihara, who was supposed to be in the office, didn't answer.After ten rings, Tomohiko hung up the receiver.After thinking for a moment, he went back to the living room. He knew that his father would watch the ten o'clock news program. He and his father watched TV for a while, and Tomohiko pretended to concentrate on watching TV so that his father would not talk to him.The father has a problem, as long as he speaks, no matter what the topic is, it will involve his son's future.

At the end of the program, news related to the murder case was finally broadcast.But the content is the same as what I heard before.The host of the show reasoned that it was a homicide without a specific target. Then, the phone rang.Tomohiko bounced up like a conditioned reflex, said "I'll pick you up" to his parents, and came to the corridor.He picked up the receiver: "Hello, Yuancun." "It's me." The voice he expected came from the receiver. "I just called you." Tomohiko lowered his volume. "Oh, you saw the news." "Ok."

"I saw it here just now." "This way?" "It's a long story, can you come out for a while?" "Huh?" Tomohiko looked back at the living room, "Now?" "right." "I can figure it out." "Well, I have something to discuss with you, about Namijiang." "Did she contact you?" Tomohiko held the receiver tightly. "She's right next to me." "how come?" "Let's meet again, you'll come over right away. But it's not the office, it's in the hotel." Kirihara told him the name and room number of the hotel.

After listening, Tomohiko's mood was a little complicated.That hotel is where the incident happened during my sophomore year in high school. "Okay, I'll be there right away." Tomohiko repeated the room number and hung up the phone. Tomohiko told his mother that there was something wrong with the part-time shop and needed manpower, so he went out.My mother didn't get suspicious, but said thoughtfully, "It's really hard work." Tomohiko went out immediately, and there was still a tram to take.He recalled the time when he was dating Yuko Hanaoka, and followed the path of that time.Whether it is the entrance and exit of changing trains, the position of waiting for the tram on the platform, although it is inevitable to be slightly bitter, it is also sighing.That married woman was his first partner of the opposite sex. After she died, until he slept with a student from a certain women's university whom he met last year, Tomohiko never even kissed a woman.

As soon as Tomohiko arrived at the hotel that made him feel emotional, he went straight to the elevator.He is quite familiar with the interior setting of this hotel.He went straight to the twentieth floor and found Er in the innermost corridor.On the 15th, knock on the door. "Which one?" It was Kirihara's voice. "Heian-kyo aliens." Tomohiko replied, that was the name of the computer game. The door opened inward.Kirihara, with a mustache on his face, pointed his thumb up, beckoning him to enter the door. This is a double room with two small beds.There is a tea table and two chairs by the window, and on one sits Namie Nishiguchi in a checked dress.

"Hello." Namijiang greeted first.Although she had a smile on her face, she looked rather haggard.The original round face, now even the chin is pointed. "Hello." Tomohiko responded, looked around the room, and sat down on the unwrinkled bed. "Uh, then," he looked at Kirihara, "what's going on?" Kirihara put his hands in the pockets of his cotton trousers and sat down on a desk by the wall. "About an hour after you left, Namie called." "Ok." "She said that there is no way to help us work anymore, and she wants to return the account books and so on to us."

"she……" "She's going to run away." "Hey! Why?" Tomohiko looked at Namijiang, remembering the news just now, "Is it related to the murder of someone from the same bank?" "You can say that," Kirihara said, "but she didn't kill people." "Oh, I didn't think so." Although Tomohiko said so, in fact, this idea did flash in his mind. "It seems to be the group of people who came to the office in the evening." Tomohiko gasped at Kirihara's words. "Why would they..." Namijiang still bowed her head in silence.Seeing her like this, Kirihara said to Tomohiko, "That big rogue in a dark blue coat is called Keben, and Namie is sticking to him."

"Post...money?" "Of course it's money, but it's not my own." "Huh? So, could it be..." "Yes," Tong Yuan shrunk his chin, "Money from the bank. Namijiang used the online system to privately deposit the money into Jiben's account." "How many?" "Even Namijiang doesn't know the total amount. But most of the time, more than 20 million yuan was transferred at a time, and it lasted for more than a year." "Can this be done?" Tomohiko asked Namijiang.She still hangs her head. "Okay, since she said so herself. However, someone found out that Namijiang embezzled public funds, and it was Makabe." "Mabe...the one in the news just now?" Kirihara nodded. "Makabe didn't seem to think that it was Namie who did it, and raised doubts to her. Namie knew that something was wrong, and contacted Genumoto to say that the matter would be exposed. Of course Genumoto didn't want to lose this cash cow, so he asked his accomplices or subordinates to kill Makabe. " As he listened, Tomohiko suddenly felt his mouth dry and his heart beating more violently. "Oh……" "But Namie isn't feeling lucky at all. Because speaking of it, Mabe was killed by her." Hearing what Kirihara said, Namie began to sob, her thin shoulders trembling slightly. "You don't have to speak so harshly." Tomohiko said considerately of her mood. "It doesn't make sense no matter how nicely it sounds!" "But……" "It's okay." Namijiang said, although her eyelids were swollen, but there seemed to be determination in her eyes, "That's the truth, Ryo is right." "Maybe, but..." Tomohiko couldn't continue.He looked at Kirihara and asked him to continue. "That's why Namie thinks it's necessary to sever ties with Genmoto." Kirihara pointed to the desk, where there were two bulging travel bags. "No wonder they panicked and looked for Namijiang everywhere. If she disappeared, it would be meaningless to kill that real wall." "Not only that, Jiben needs a lot of money urgently. It was agreed that Namijiang sent him the money in the old way yesterday." "He did a lot of things, but none of them succeeded," Namijiang said in a low voice. "How could you be with that kind of person—" "Is it meaningful to ask these questions now?" Kirihara said coldly. "That's right," Tomohiko scratched his head, "What should we do next?" "I can only find a way to escape." "Ok." The proposal of surrendering himself could not be mentioned at this juncture, and Tomohiko was thinking about it in his heart. "But now I haven't even decided where to hide. I have been staying in the hotel and I will be found sooner or later. Even if I can escape the hurdle, the police are not so easy to fool. Today and tomorrow, I will look for a place where I can hide for a long time .” "Can you find it?" "If you can't find it, you have to find it." Tong Yuan opened the refrigerator and took out a can of beer. "I'm sorry for you. If I get caught by the police, I will never say that you have helped me." Namijiang felt very sorry. "Are you rich?" Tomohiko asked. "Well, that's okay." Her tone was a little vague. "As expected of Namie, she is not just a puppet who only knows how to be a puppet." Kirihara held a beer can in one hand and said, "She has expected this day, opened five secret accounts, secretly transferred public funds, It's admirable." "Oh." "Stop talking, it's not a decent thing." Namijiang put her hand on her forehead. "But having money is better than having no money," said Tomohiko. "That's right." With that said, Kirihara drank the beer dry. "Then what should I do?" Tomohiko asked, looking back and forth between Namijiang and Kirihara. "I hope you will be here with Namijiang these two days." "..." "Namie can't go out casually. If you want to buy something, you can only ask someone for help. The only one who can ask you is you." "That's it..." Tomohiko flicked his bangs and looked at Namijiang.She had a look of pleading for help in her eyes. "Okay, leave it to me." He said firmly.
